No. Ask him about his Powersupply. Mainly what brand and how many watts. If he has a decent PSU (Powersupply) then we can pick you a decent Graphics Card from newegg.

No,

If he built the PC from scratch - you can go into the motherboard BIOS and disable the onboard video card to add a video card to the available slot - if he has an available pciex16 unused.

You want a slot like the Blue one below to add a card to

I'm not sure if that applies to Big Box type of PC's like Dell and HP's - but I would guess it does.

As long as nothing else is occupying that blue slot - you should be able to get a Video card in there. I've not worked with a micro-ATX board though. Your use of a modern video card might overhang the pci slot next to it - I'll let somebody else with more experience weigh in though.
